I already have the engine pulled, so putting it in 5th isn't really an option. Sorry if this has already been asked, but the search came up with Warrior's tread and I don't have a welder so I can't make his special tool. My manual says to use a chain wrench but I can't seem to find a ratchet chain wrench in Knoxville. What's a boy to do?

If you still have the flywheel on use a breaker bar on one of those bolts to hold it. and then try and break it that way. I have done that once or twice. :)

Yep, that's what I did. I had a friend hold the breaker bar and I took the bolt off. I figured it out and now I don't have to spend money on a chain wrench.

Yeah I tried the chain wrench idea and it tore up my lightweight pulley :(
Only took 2 hours with a dremel to fix it. lol

Glad to know you got it :smt020

Mine took a 6 foot breaker bar with all my weight on it to break that cursed bolt.
